Sometimes people don’t want to hear the truth because they don’t want their illusions destroyed
German philosopher, cultural critic, composer, poet, philologist, and Latin and Greek scholar whose work has exerted a profound influence on Western philosophy and modern intellectual history.
Man is the cruelest animal
The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time
In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule
No one can construct for you the bridge upon which precisely you must cross the stream of life, no one but you yourself alone
The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die. As well the minds which are prevented from changing their opinions; they cease to be mind
When we are tired, we are attacked by ideas we conquered long ago
It is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep
The brave may not live forever – But the cautious do not live at all
I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think
Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be
Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn
No one can construct for you the bridge upon which precisely you must cross the stream of life, no one but you yourself alone
